Best Pediatric Hospital in Texas?


I'm from maryland, and am a new nurse working in Washington DC on a general medicine floor. However my dream job is a pediatrics unit/hospital, and I keep hearing great things about Texas. What are some of the top Pediatric Hospitals (or hospitals with a peds unit)?

Children's Medical Center in Dallas, TX and Cook Childrens' Medical Center in Ft. Worth, TX are the two that I am most familiar with. Children's Medical Center is ranked among #1 hospitals in the nation!!! HTH

Christus Santa Rosa and Methodist Children's in San Antonio are also both very good.

Dell Children's is great but very small, and they rarely hire at all. you might have a chance though, having experience but the hiring people there only hire to replace people anymore.

I second both of these. The Diabetes/Endocrine dept and Cook's is stellar.

I've worked at Cook Children's in Ft Worth for 10yrs, and I can definitely say it is the top peds hospital in Texas!
